Chapter 1702 - 1702. Enemies

The entirety of the army ended up following Noah. The group counted more than a hundred rank 8 experts and thousands of cultivators in the seventh rank. It was a massive force that even the strongest organizations couldn't match, especially due to the powerful leaders in charge.

Still, even that massive army was nothing compared to the forces battling among the shining regions. A single rank 9 existence could lay waste to Noah's group, and the shining battlefield had three of them.

"Follow me!" Noah roared. "Don't approach the battlefield. Go around it. Ignore the external pressure. Strive forward without hesitating."

Noah roared orders that both humans and hybrids could understand. Moira and the other liquid stage cultivators could translate the meaning behind his cries without external help, and the pride that surrounded the army quickly intensified.

Everyone knew how crazy that plan was, but Noah's ambition reassured them. It didn't only improve their morale. Everything felt possible with Noah as a leader.

The experts' aura came out on their own. They fused with Noah's ambition and began to gain features that only Devils could have. That was only a temporary transformation, but it still surprised the various cultivators paying attention to the scene.

Noah saw that ability as proof that the leadership features of his law had intensified. He could immediately connect them to his improved pride, but he didn't linger on those thoughts in that situation.

A faint idea had appeared in his mind. Noah had technically evolved past the immense anger carried by the other world's will. He had absorbed that power and developed the ability to spread it. He could consider himself as the heir of one of Heaven and Earth's greatest enemies.

A faint pressure eventually landed on his mind. The experts inside the battlefield had noticed that his army was moving toward the dimensional tunnel. Still, they didn't do anything to stop them.

'When will they act?' Noah wondered while continuing to roar orders.

Noah could understand that the troops from the sky couldn't divert their attention, but the situation didn't make sense anyway.

The army continued to move forward, flying across the regions as it avoided the radiance spread by the battlefield. Noah and the others weren't bothering to transform the world anymore. They had to use every second for their escape.

The black shades among the shining battlefield spread and shrunk. It seemed that the human army had begun to fight back and that only forced Noah's group to hurry.

They spent days, weeks, and months flying without breaks. Their anxiety intensified whenever they saw the black shades shrinking, and that feeling reached its peak once they crossed the battlefield.

The group only had less than a year of travel in front of them at that point. The dimensional tunnel was in one of the peaceful regions past the first floating lake, but they could reach it safely if they put enough distance from the battlefield.

Of course, the situation didn't go as the group hoped. A white flare shot out of the shining battlefield after the army crossed it. The blinding ray of light illuminated the region in front of Noah's team and teleported an entire platoon into the area.

"That's all?" Noah asked when he inspected his opponents.

Noah recognized Althea and many of the cultivators from the other side of the Immortal Lands. A few experts wearing white robes stood next to them, and many weaker troops floated behind them.

"Your arrogance won't help you," Althea announced, but Noah didn't have time to waste in pointless conversations.
